A growing body of brain-imaging research has mapped, with increasing precision, how the Amazonian psychedelic brew ayahuasca rewires electrical activity across the human brain. The latest contribution ...
A good night's sleep has long been understood to help us consolidate new memories, but we don't understand how. Associations with negative feelings like fear or stress can improve recall, but ...
On neuroscience’s big stage Nov. 15, MIT Professor Earl K. Miller will propose that thought and consciousness emerge from the fast and flexible organization of the cortex produced by the analog ...
The brain never rests: even during deep sleep or under anesthesia, it maintains rhythmic electrical activity known as slow oscillations. A team from the Sensory-motor Processing by Subcortical Areas ...
Hans Berger recorded the first human EEG in 1924. EEG records electrical activity via 16–25 scalp electrodes. Focal “slowing” in brain waves can indicate tumors or lesions. Patients must avoid ...
Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new information. How does the well-controlled and yet highly nimble nature of ...
